Another Gift

God's love, the gift of his Son and salvation are some of the amazing gifts we often talk about. But this morning I've been thinking of another gift God has given that I sometimes forget. The gift of Souls.

Psalms 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,

and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Joshua 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon,

that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

Isaiah 55:5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not,

and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God,

and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

It is a gift; it is a promise; it is a duty to let His light shine to the world. How blessed we are to have the promise. We have hope. Yet the Bible still says it is more blessed, more blessed even than all these gifts we have received, to give.

Okay, wow. I hadn't thought of it quite like this before, but that's powerful. It's a gift He's given us, an opportunity to be blessed, not only a duty. And like Bro said, He doesn't give us these things without backing us up by His power. Keep letting God shine through you! You inspire me. :)
